5spd Calais: the problem with centreforces is that if you have bags of torque at low revs, the weights havent had a chance to do their thing and it could start slipping, get hot, and it will have trouble gripping once its hot. A fella i know has some sort of centreforce setup, and it was fantastic with a lot of power (t04, cooler, etc), but once he put an autronic in and got a heap more low down power it started to slip. (i think this was just a centreforce kit - not as good as what JET-6's got)

Yer i only used the centre force clutch plate, i returned the pressure plate as it was gay as, got onto a rep from Daiken, he gave me a part number for a great pressuse plate, i can get em cheap, but if you PM ill give you the details.

With a good organic plate you shouldnt have too many dramas. How do you do this? I can't understand how you get better clamping force. I'm thinking you meant lengthening the arm that comes out of the bellhousing. Maybe you meant altering the pressure plate itself. Please clarify as I'm a bit slow this time of year. :roll: Its the pressure plate itself that they modify, the internal pivot point that the diaphram acts off is modified. Works well. Cheers

Mine was modded at the same place as 87calais', works a treat.......not much pedal pressure....., but ****loads of clutch pressure.....

ok guys, did some ringing around this morning for prices on a single plate clutch to suit my vl. the only thing i told them was that i was expecting 550-600fwhp. the following are the shops, products and kit prices i got (note that the prices are not trade, so you may be able to get them cheaper!). all kits with are cushioned ceramic clutch plates, prices are all including gst. Direct clutch (qld), 07 3268 2640, 1000kg, max 650hp, $750 Exedy daikin (au), 03 9701 5556, 1000kg, max 633hp, $650 Adelaide clutch, 1800258824, 1050kg, max 650hp, $700 Auto clutch (wa), 08 9244 4496, 1130kg, max 650hp, $580 Adelaide clutch also did the clutch plate with lighter pressure plate (850kg, up to 450hp) for $500. if i get any more prices i will post them regards mark

my clutch was $550, it is a 5 puk ceramic sprung centre plate, the pressure plate had the pivot point mod which gives around 1100kg clamping pressure. no idea what HP rating they give it, but should be similar to the above mentiones since its a similar clutch. I asked them for a clutch that could handle over 500fwhp

how much can the centreforce handle??? as i have a centreforce in mine but i do not know what kind of pressure plate, how could i check this?
